HTML to be 'Incrementally Evolved'

[TopHosts NewsMan]

MrDrBob writes "It has been decided that HTML is going to be incrementally updated, as the W3C believe that their efforts with XHTML are going unnoticed or unused by many websites out there. HTML is going to be worked on in parallel with XHTML (but with no dependencies), with the W3C trying to evolve HTML to a point where it's easier and logical for everybody to transition to XHTML. However, their work is still going to attempt to improve HTML in itself, with work on forms moving towards transitioning into XForms, but bearing in mind the work done by Webforms. In addition, the W3C's HTML validator is going to get improved, with Tim Berners-Lee wanting it to 'check (even) more stuff, be (even) more helpful, and prioritize carefully its errors, warning and mild chidings'. This looks like a nice step forward for the W3C, and will hopefully leave all the squabbling and procrastination behind."

There are plenty of added things the W3C could plan on. How about they absorb some time extending 'forms' which are about just anchored controls to absorb added circuitous widgets like anchored video admirers or audio players? I'm ailing of getting a Linux user and hitting pages that use some aberrant flash/activex amateur arrangement or something thats sized in a pop up absolutely for Windows Media Player's browser bung in.
